Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was born in 1965. My birth wasn’t as noteworthy as the more history-making moments taking place that year, but for my mother, a miracle had happened. We both survived that difficult birth. I was named Eilleen Regina Edwards: Eilleen, after my mother’s Irish-born grandmother, Eileen Morrison; and Regina, after my biological father’s mother, whom we called Grandma Edwards.

#2 I had a difficult childhood. My mother, Sharon May Morrison, had a difficult life. When she was sixteen, she lost all of her teeth in an accident at school while crouched behind home plate playing catcher during a softball game. She had to have dentures. I didn’t know my father, but I believed my mother when she told me that he didn’t want anything to do with me.

#3 My mother was a single parent when she had me, and she turned to her mother for support. We moved into my grandmother Eileen’s tiny farmhouse just outside of Timmins, in a small district called Hoyle. I remember my grandmother making us Cream of Wheat cereal, which she’d boil to lumpless perfection and serve up with brown sugar and fresh whole milk.

#4 I was born in 1960, two years before my sister. I was always eager to go, even if I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t know what happened once my big sister disappeared on that huge, yellow bus, but I knew I didn’t want to be not going.

#4

I was born in 1960, two years before my sister. I was always eager to go, even if I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t know what happened once my big sister disappeared on that huge, yellow bus, but I knew I didn’t want to be not going.

#5

I had a new stepdad named Jerry, who was not much taller than my mother. He had a sort of unidentifiable, almost universal ethnic look about him. He always got a kick imagining himself being mistaken for a Mexican or a Middle Eastern man.

#6

The Norman house was my first home. I have some vivid memories from the house, like my first dishwashing lesson. My parents had many arguments about money, which was stressful for them to deal with.

#7

I can still remember the scene like it was yesterday. I was in hysterics, crawling out of my skin with fear, feeling as helpless as my poor mother lay at the base of the toilet, seemingly drowned.

#8

I was four when family violence entered my life. I remember feeling sorry for my parents, who were caught up in it, and I didn’t hate them. I just wanted it to be over and forgotten. I didn’t want to share new experiences with strangers.

#9

I had attended seventeen different schools by the time I graduated from high school. It was difficult being the new kid so often, but I learned how to adjust to change.

#1

I was always singing, even when I was a child. I had discovered an internal instrument and was learning how to play it. I was finding my voice.

#2

I was always singing, and I loved it. I was always listening to music, and I loved it even more. I was drawn to the sounds of
